Matt Denkers and Jordan Tuckfield of BYU finished in the top 10 in platform diving on Saturday in Atlanta.
“BYU divers demonstrated great teamwork, especially on the last day where many members of the team learned new dives to strengthen their ability to compete with stronger platform opponents,” BYU head dive coach Tyce Routson said. “All divers signed up for an extra exhibition event to gain more experience and each diver increased their individual scores.
“Dressen and Tuckfield, who had a lifetime-best platform dive, achieved their NCAA Zone cut scores.”
In order to qualify to compete in the NCAA Championship, one must have a score of 300 or better for men’s platform diving.
